houses. The Senate has mainly occupied
itself with decisions upon the tariff question,
but on Wednesday laid that aside long
enough to pan the Consular and Diplomatic
Bill, and then resumed its discussion. The
House has busted itself with the Chinese
Bill and finally on Thursday pound the bill
without amendment, so that it now only
needs the approval of the President to be-
'comeelaw. Thiscauhardlybesaidtoheve
been a party measure, although the majority
in favor of its pemsge were democrats. It
.was noticeable that the eastern Republican
representatives voted elmoetto a man against
the bill, while those from the Pacific and
ewestern1stetes,were foroedto bow tothe
s
opinions of their ‘ constituents, voted with
their political opponents. end1hlough their

believed by many that China.tekingthe mat-
ter as a direct insult to herself, will close
her ports to American vessels and thus de-
prive our government of the large income
it now derives from that source. '
TheSenate was the scene of a lively little
episode on Wednesday. During a brief dis-
cussion of the Lifeaaving Service bill, Sena-
tor Brown, of Georgia,offered an amendment
nkiegthepey of nation keepers 8000psr
ennu- ineteed of 8800, as proposed by the
' bill. Senator Frye instantly sprang tohis
o .
feet and indignantly said:
" Why, this amendment is ridiculous and
absurd. Theeeoflcers have agrostdeal of
reeponsibilit attached to them, and they en-
dure untold ardsllipa to rescue shl wrecked
sailors; end yet it is propmd in th s Senate,
which pays men from 81,800 to 81,000e year
for sitting in soft cushioned chairs end occa-
sionally, when they are euficiently wekeful
or energetical, getting up end opening a door,
to give worthy servants of the;government,
whorl ek their lives in the cause of humani-
ty. a beggerly pittance."
This sharp little reply was greeted by a
burst of applause from the galleries, and:
Senator Brown's face flushed uncomfortably
red. The amendment. wee defeated by a
large majority. ' -

The President has approved the Anti-Po-

Senator Peudleton has introduced a resolu-

The Senate Judiciary Commitme have
agreed to report favorably the bill creating a
court of nine judges subordinate to the Uni-
ted States Supreme Court, to sit with circuit
and district judges and dispose of many

This is a worthy end much needed measure

the proposed subordinate court.

Although the weather wee very blustering
last Friday evening, the {congregational

residence, ' Down town, was quite well, at-
tcnded and proved very enjoyable. Mr.

ment of the ocean on by several cornet solos.
On the same evening the South Norwalk

Supper at the residence of Mrs. Flynn.
A Ten Socieble is to be held this evening

New Mail Agent.
Carmi Hubbell, Norwalk’s popular assist-
ant postmaster, has been appointed mail
York and Boston—in place of F. H. Nash,
Esq.. resigned. This is the first route agent
upper Norwelk has ever been honored with.
Our "Carmi" will not only make a very pop-
ular officer in his new sphere. but a very ac-
curate and efficient one. It is hinted that
our friend “Paul” has his eye squinted
towards the Westport post-ofiice, for which
his long and weary experience in the mail
railway service must especially fit him.

Summer Boarders.
- Norwalk was formerly quite a resort for
summer boarders, but for the past-few years
their number has fallen ofi’, principally on‘ not
count of the distance to, and expense and
time required to reach a proper bathing beach
on the Sound. The completion of the exten-
sion of the Daubnry & Norwalk Railroad to
Wilson's Point will probably induce many of
our former visitors and numerous others to
again spend their summers here. The cheapo
ness and the short time that will be required
to reach the splendid beaches of Belle Island,
Pine Point end Roton Point, will place our
own citizens and visitors on as favorable
footing for frequent and cheap bathing as
any to be found on the Sound shore, and we
.believe that large numbers will avail them-
selves of this pleasant and healthy luxury,
heightened as it will be, by the . cool sea,
breeze that is almost always to be found at
these resorts. The time required to reach
the beaches will be but a few minutes, and
we are informed that the probable price for
return will be but twenty cents. and from
South Norwelk fifteen cents. so that there
can be no complaint as to the rate of fares,
and no doubt but that crowds will avail
themselves of the advantages thus ofiercd for
a salt water plunge.
A New—School.
Miss N. F. Bezel), who was a popular
and sucnssful teacher of.e superior select
school here some ten years ago, but who has
since that time conducted at Hagorstown,
Maryland, “ the best school in the' State,"
as Governor Hamilton once assured us, has
been prevailed upon to return here to her
childhocd’e home. Her; aged mother has
bad the old homestead rebuilt and enlarged
with a view of making it more complete and
suitable for school purposes. Miss Baird has
superior natural abilities as a teacher, besides
elerge and successful experience. slid we
predict for her a very useful career here in
Norwalk. We append the following con-
gratulatory letter, sent Miss Baird, by a lead-
ing citizen who has long been actively inter-
ested in our local educational matters.
Noawsnx. Conn" March 9. 1882.
Miss Daren—Your letter advising me of
our intention to remove your school from
agerstown to our home in Norwalk, is
dul received. can truly’eay that the es-
tablishment of an institute of the high rank
our school in Maryland has sustained, will
be a most veluabie acquisition to our educa-
tional interests. From my knowledge of
our ability, energy and success as a teacher
n Norwelk, previous to .your ten years of
most successful teaching in Hegerstown, I
can most cordially commend the school you
' to open here during the next month,
sepromisin the very highest_ advantages;
and I shall beppyto do all in my power
to advance your noble aims. , - -
The Steamboat.
Tile steamboat comes up from New York
next Saturday aftegnoon and makes her first
trip down next week Monday. The Adelphi
opens the se'sson, being a much swifter boat
than the Americus. We are‘ are assured,
however, that Com. White is looking out
route. ' To find a boat that will answer the
requiremnets of this route. however, is no
easy task. The character of two crack boats
which we hear of his. trying to secure, but
without suecess,convinces us that he does not
intend to be satisfied with any ordinary boat.

More ItaflroadSmoke,
“Where there is so much smoke there must
besoms file." J udgiug from the quantity of
smoke in this railroad business there certain-
ly oughtto be fire enough to build at least
two new railroad lines “through to Boston
direct." Last week Mr. Franklin Mead again
made his appearance in the upper part of the
town with a corps of assistants and money-
ed the line through the Broad River district
and Winnipsuk. This line, which we have
before noticed, has generally been looked
upon with little or no favor, the presumption
being that it was impracticable, too far north,
etc. A gentleman,.however, who has had
unusually good opportunities of finding out
the truth in regard to this survey, is quite
enthusiastic over it and firmly believes that
it is really the line that will be built—at least
one of the lines. The company is a power-
ful one, he says, with abundance of capital
already raised, and they propose building a
road as nearly straight as possible. They are
working quietly but surely. In Massachu-
setts they have secured the right of way in
all but two places, where their right is con-
tested. In this State, as we have before
stated, they have deposited'pll necessary doc-
uments and funds with the State authorities,
and propose to construct the road under the
general law. Their object is to make an Air-
line to Boston, so that no subsequent compa-
ny can ever obtain a shorter route, and be—
lieve by so doing. that they can run through
trains between New York and Boston in four
hours, or a little more, and will thus be ena-
bled to control all the‘ “through” business
just as soon as the road is completed. Even-
tually the road will hgve connections to the
South and through to the Pacific under the
same management. While it is claimed that
Vanderbilt has nothing to do with the road,
it is admitted that the great stumbling block
at the west end—getting into New York city
—has been successfully arranged by starting
from a point on the Harlem Road.
In Norwalk the line runs through Broad
River near Mr. Panton’s, through Winni-
pauk and thence to Ansonia, Middletown,
etc. The survey shows no insurmountable
obstacles, there being but one tunnel to con-
struct, and that only 200 feet in length. At
Lyon’s Plains, at the crossing of the Sange-
tuck River, is a deep valley to cross, which
is one of the worst features of the route. Our
informant predicts. that the company ‘will
break ground in New York State during the
month of April. This road, it is further
claimed, has no connection whatever with
the Jewell line now seeking a~cilerter in our
legislature. This is the story as told to us
by an intelligent and disinterested gentleman
who feels sure of the facts. Railroad stories
are so My mixed in this vicinity, that time
only can show what is true, and what more
rumor. When the road is constructed we
shall know all about it.
If all the above should be the intentiou,of
the projectors, there is no certainty of their
getting though this State without a hard
struggle. They must conform to the laws,
call out the commissioners, notify all parties
in interest, and then be liable to all manner
of vexatious delays in courts, etc.
A line running so far north would natural-
ly be a disappointment to the majority of
our own people, but would give the City of
Winnipauk a new impetus.

The spacious parlors and balls of High-
wood were the scene of a very enjoyable en-
tertainment, last Tuesday evening, in com-
mrmoratiou of the thirty-sixth anniversary of
the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Henry I. Hoyt-
The youngest daughter of the house con-
ceived in her heart the loving thought of
doing honor to the suspicious event in' her
own unique and pleasant way; and then she
drew into her councils a few friends who
were requisite to the execution of her plan,
and to the concealment of it from those so
dear whom she delighted to honor.
So when various members of that scat-
tered family, and two or three other friends
began to arrive, their coming was naturally
accounted for, and even the partial illumina,
tion of the house, until with startling sud-
denness our Union Band, with full force,
struck up one of their inspiring airs under
the parlor windows, when the astonishment
of the happy pair was complete. Of course
the band was immediately invited into the
house when another and equally startling
surprise was the throwing open of the spa-
cious dining room and the uncovering of
along and well spread table stimulating and
rewarding the “players on instruments.”
Thus, between the feast of music and the
flow of soul in congraguletion, the protracted
evening was filled up with brightest enjoy-
most to all present. 51
But how the resources of that mother's and
housekeeper’e domain could have been laid
under so large contributions without exciting
her suspicions must ever be a mystery to her
and to her friends.
The performances of our excellent bend
under the baton of Mr. Gibson, and the di-
rectorship of Mr. Punzelt, was admirable.
It would be difficult to decide which of the
parties to this entertainment enjoyed it most.
The Opening of Messrs. Scofleld do. Hoyt’s
newstore in Gaza-rm: Building, took place
last Saturday evening. The “show windows
were very tastefully arranged, presenting a
fine appearance from the street. Inside, on
the main floor. the counters and shelves were
piled with new goods making a very'largc'
stock in the aggregate; Down stairs was a
fine displnyof carpets. oil gelatin, etc. The
store hassbeeu Ivory handsomely fitted up
throughout,the walls and ceilings decanted,
and everything put in fine order. There was
arusb of ladies all the evening to view the
store, examine the goods and study up the
styles. The proprietors and employees were
kept busy and everybody seemed happy. _
The , March of Improvement.
Messrs. A. H. Hoyt di 00., the popular
Well street shoe dealers, are about to make
some very decided improvements in their
store, including a plate glass front and a new
floor. They will also paper and decorate the
walls and ceilings in the prevailing style of,
decorative art.
Next door, Mr. Austin, the jeweler, will
have a plate glass front put in. These fronts
will much improve the appearance of Well
street. ,
W. B. E. Lockwood, Eeq., contemplates
improving the appearance of his residence
by the addition of a mensard roof, a piazza
across the front, drc. Some interior‘improve-
ments will also be made.

Run Over by the Cars.
Nehemiah Benton, son of Isaac Bouton, of
this place, was run over by the cars, at
Bridgeport, last Tuesday evening,- and rev
ceived injuries which it is feared will prove
fetal. He was in employ of the Horse Railway
Co., and was driving to the depot to meet
Supt. Lasher, and was struck by the 10:18
train when crossing the track on Feirfisld
ave. He was badly out about the face and
head. He has been delirous much of the
time since. and at last accounts erysipelas
had set in, and the doctors despaired of his
recovery ‘ — ,

ALFRED JACKSON.
On Monday last Mr. Jackson was at his
store attending to business, apparently as
well as ever. Indeed, he said that he never
felt better. On Tuesday he was taken down
and on Saturday morning following his
earthly career closed. ' Mr. Jackson was
born in Westport, and when a boy came to
Norwalk and served an apprenticeship in the
jewelry business with the late Deacon Chas.
Disbrow. Upon Mr. . Disbrow’s death in
1853, Mr. J acksou succeeded to the business,
with which he has ever since been connnect-
ed, and in which be won an honorable repu-
tation as a business man. He was a devoted
member of St. Paul’s Episcopal church, a
good citizen, apleasaut neighbor, an agreea-
blc gentleman whomade no enemies, a lov-l.
ing husband. and fund parent. Esteemed
and respected by all who knew him, he will
be missed and his sudden loss regretted by
the entire community.
Mr. Jackson had much sickness in his fam-
ily of late, and his son recently came home
rick with typhoid fever.

Novel Exhibition by the “01(1ch
Club,” at South Nor-walk.
Elated by their success in breaking the
corner in the egg market, which had so-long
existed when we made the appeal to them to
'come'io the towns, and chagrined, that Bar.
uum has given the city the go by with his
“greatest baby elephet show on earth,” the
“Old Hen Club” have determined to give a
grand baby (chick) show of their own, in
Music Hall at an early day, the show to in-
clude the festive plumed rooster, the mother
hen with brood of chicks, the crowing non
productive'heu, and not omitting that won-
derful assistant to laying hens, the incubator.
This exhibition if gotten up with the usual
tact and talent of the club, will certainly be
more novel and interesting than the usual
cat, dog. monkey, dwarf, giant, fat baby,
' boys. girls, men and women, double-heeded
girls, and the thousand and one shows that
men and woman kind have long been heir
to, and we doubt not will'provc attractive to
visitors, and profitable to the club.
The premium list will doubtless soon ap-
pear, and when published, wont there be
crowing, cackling. clocking peeping and
scratching in our midst, and we should not
be surprised if the roosters in their joyful-
ness, should attempt to outserecch the loco-
motive end factory steam whistles, and if
they do, there will be such a demand for
cotton to stop the ears of our citizens, that
wesbsll have a corner in cotton, instead as
'before', a corner in eggs. From such a
'ee'ismlty, save as ye City Fathers.

Mr. Potter will no more ride his beautiful
pet saddle horse. During one night last week
it was cast in the stable, and in its struggle
to free itself, broke a leg, and had to be
killed.
Our city fathers have learned with'deep
regret, that the opening and grading of the
Daubnry Railroad extension, as laid out, will
encroach upon the main street of the city,
near the Burbank place, and at their last
meeting, the subject was Well ventilated.
There is no doubt that somebody has been
too negligent about it, and there is no doubt
that the Railroad Company were Inf-seeing,
when they selected about the only legal tal-
ent the city cont-tins, to act as one of their
advisers, and perhaps to keep eagle eyes
from defending the city interests. The
council seem to have come to the conclusion
that other and the best legul talent should be
procured to defend the city's interest, and
the hearing. is to be opened again on Tues.
day.
Mncllexcitemeut has existed in the city
since Friday night, caused by the action of
one of the batting firms, Messrs. Brown
Sherwood & 00.. It is a difficult matter to
understand all the causes of complaint, but
from a circular issued to the public, it is
easy to see one side of the matter, and the
cause. Doubtless if the matter could be dis-
cussed calmly, an amicable settlement might
be made. A mass meeting has been called
by the professedly aggrieved ones, to be
held in Music Hall, this (Monday) evening,
when the whole matter will probably be ven-
tilated, but we trust that there will be no
necessity to call upon High Sherifl Crosby
or his deputies for'aid,
Copies of the proposed new city charter
have arrived. looking neat, bright and as oily
as the paper on which they are printed. It
is not probable that an unsophisticated eye
would see the nice points, or the alterations_
but they are there. codified, modified and all
one sided, giving the city in efiect 7 coun-
cilman: One very remarkable section is
in it, viz: This act shall be 'a Public Act,
'and take efieci thirty days after its approval
by the mayor and board of councilmen." It
is not a supposable thing for our democratic
board to disapprove such a document, but
there is no doubt that it will need ebctter
light, than that made by our kerosene city
lamps, _to see through it, and it is certain,
that our citizens will long remember House
Bill No. 192, and Flip Bill 290 of the General
Assembly A. D. 1882. But the people are
not to be consulted about it.

audience. _
Miss Blanche Roosevelt won the highest
mood of praise and fully sustained the exalted
reputation sbohas every where so deservedly
attained. Miss Roosevelt has enjoyed the
rarest advantages under the most eminent
masters of Europe, and after many years of
hard study previous to returning home
achieved a most gratifying success in the first
cities of the old world, Miss Roosevelt sang
the Ballad Nighliug ale Thrill, for which as
well as in encore she received the most hearty
applause. ?
Florenza D‘Aroua sang the Ballad, Out on
the‘Roclrs, delighting all with her voice of
most remarkable richness, sweetness and
power, and was greeted with earnest recall
Miss Priest in her Piano Solos, and Mr.
Carl Lauzer by his skill in his Violin Solos
added largely to the entertainment and were
also applauded and recalled.
The second part was the Garden scene .iu -
Miss Florenza D‘Arona‘
appeared as Sibel and Martha, and fully met
the expectations which her magnificent voice
had inspired. She sang and acted with the
method and grace of a thorough artist.
Miss Roosevelt sang the role of Marguerite
faultlessly, pouring fourth in exquisite tones
the emotions of triutnph and despair as if
she was the real Melrgherita, and was raptur-
ously applauded. ’ , -

whom the Buckeye State may well be proud

Troublesome Oyster Grounds.
The Shell Fisheries Commission have re-

Lowudcs, of Norwalk, for the designation
of 200 acres of oyster grounds in Weslport
waters southwest of Cokine Island. The
remonstrance was accompanied with forty
signature‘smho protested against the granting
of the designated “acres” on the ground mat
the tract was natural oyster ground. After
consultation the commissioners decided to
notify parties in interest to appear and be
heard on April 10m. The only question at
issue is whether the ground is natural oyster
ground or the reverse—Courier.
